3 Ideas for a Sweet 16 Fashion Fete
Across the globe, teenage girls love fashion! They know what to wear and more importantly, what not too wear, as well as the hottest looks and coolest designers! Therefore, a Fashion Fete makes sense for a stylish Sweet 16 celebration.
The inspiration for this special event comes from an award-winning tabletop design created by local floral designer, Janet Flowers of Janet Flowers Wedding and Events. For a similar event, she dressed up black wire dressform mannquins with fabric and flowers to create stunning centerpieces that really played up theme!
To produce your Fashion Fete, I suggest these 3 ideas for maximum WOW power:
Floral Mannequins - for the dinner table and or food buffet. Dressform mannequins are availble online and come in sizes 6 to 60 inches. Click here for one source. Decorate with your choice of flowers, fabric and other embellishments to create a one-of-a-kind floral arrangement. [Note: this floral concept can also be used for a bridal or baby shower. For the latter, use a pregnant dressform mannequin; it's super cute!]
Candy & Dessert Buffet
Add a touch of sweetness to the party and incorporate your favorite fabric swatch, too! This Pucci-inspired dessert buffet was created by Amy Atlas Events and includes an assortment of bite-size cupcakes, cookies, chocolate candies and even paper cones of flavored popcorn - perfect for teenagers and adults alike.
Photo Booth
Capture all the fun - and create an inexpensive yet priceless souvenir, as well - with a photo booth!
Photo booths are insanely popular right now; you can either rent a portable booth (from Poshbooths in the DC Metro area) or make your own (click here for guidance). Either way, your guests will have a great time.
